ORLANDO, Fla. – A quieter weather pattern is settling into Central Florida as drier air filters into the state behind a cold front moving south through Florida on Thursday.
Rain chances will be much lower compared to earlier this week, with most areas staying dry through Friday.
Temperatures will remain seasonable to slightly above normal over the next couple of days. Afternoon highs reach the mid to upper 80s on Thursday, with some inland neighborhoods climbing into the low 90s by Friday.
At the beaches, dangerous surf conditions continue. A high risk of rip currents remains in place at all Central Florida beaches through the weekend
WEEKEND
Looking ahead to the weekend and early next week, onshore winds return, and moisture slowly increases once again.
That means scattered afternoon showers and storms will gradually become more common each day (30-40%), especially along the coast during the morning before pushing inland later in the afternoon with the sea breeze.
Even with a few returning rain chances, temperatures stay warm with highs mainly in the 80s along the coast and low 90s possible well inland through early next week.
